When men are abused, everybody suffers. This courageous book
exposes a dark secret: Men are often victims of abuse. Although a
great deal of attention has recently been paid to the victimization
of women, the role of men as victims--not just perpetrators--has
been neglected. The Abuse of Men reveals the impact of physical,
sexual, and emotional trauma on the lives and relationships of men.
This groundbreaking book shows how the negative effects of both
basic training and combat may also cause lasting damage to men's
self-esteem, ability to trust, personal boundaries, and ability to
form healthy relationships. The Abuse of Men explores the
prevalence of other kinds of violence and abuse toward men and
boys, from child-battering to spousal abuse. It also discusses how
the culture of violence and societal expectations of boys and men
can help drive victims of abuse toward continuing the cycle of
violence. The Abuse of Men discusses the sources of trauma,
including: the quality and quantity of domestic violence committed
by women against men the role of abusive fathers in raising sons
who become abusers vicarious traumatization from living with
partners whose uncontrolled PTSD makes them dangerously abusive
hazing, military training, and other socially sanctioned
male-on-male violence trauma contagion and transactional
victimizing The Abuse of Men also offers specific suggestions for
therapists working with abused men and their partners, including an
innovative step-by-step program for treating couples who have both
been traumatized. By understanding how men and boys become victims
and respond to trauma, you can help heal their pain and teach them
to build positive, loving relationships.
